Sony Ericsson W850 User Reviews

The w850i phone is an amazing piece of technology. With the Walkman 2.0 interface, songs and their artists are easy to find and organize. The sound quality is among the best in mobile phones, mirroring the standard in many top quality mp3 players. Also supplied are top quality in-ear earphones that create great sounding music with the isolation of ambient noise. I have tried many mobile phones including phones by Samsung (D900) and Nokia (N73 music edition, N80), NONE of their phones match the sound quality of the w850. Also, the w850i has the ability to expand its memory using MS PRO DUO cards, being able to store alot more than the nokia n73-80 which tops out at 2GB. I currently have an 8GB card inserted in the phone and have no problems yet. Although the 2mp camera is lacking auto focus which makes objects that are close by a little blurry, the picture quality is decent (almost that of the SE k750) and (mite I add) of printable quality. The user interface copies many of Sony Ericsson's (SE) previous phones, I believe the only reason why SE does not change it's interface is because of its ease of use. Although the SE W850 is a great phone, there is one flaw that i dislike about the design. The bottom nub on the D-pad is extreamly hard to press when i first got the phone, but as i used the down key more often (mainly for scrolling through music) the bottom nub became easier to press. Living in Canada which uses mainly the 850 band (a feature that the w850 does not include), I realized that the triband w850 had great reception. Not once have I had a dropped call, and only in places that are underground (subways, some underground parking lots) have i had no reception. To conclude my opinion, the W850i is one of the greatest non-smart phones avaliable on the market, boasting a great battery life and stylish sliding designs, the w850i can be considered as an all around phone challenging the top position as a mp3 player, a camera, a phone, and an organizer.

Great phone!!!
Being Sony e's first slide phone, it's actually very good. Sound quality is excellent, earphones almost better than ipod ones. Personally i prefer the white one but the black certainly looks impressive in the box.
Only complaint is more zoom for camera but nevertheless a great phone!

it's the greatest phone i ever seen. i like it very much!

its a great phone with unique style and good features. if ur looking for a phone with a great features, choose this phone. powerful sound , unique style, great picture w/ 2 mega pixel ... wow awesome.

Another incredible phone by Sony Ericsson. Media related features are state of the art at the moment; headphones are actually far better than iPod ones. The camera is good indeed, considering that this is not meant to be a photo related phone.

this is the best phone i've ever seen it's got every thing i need it's a phone ,a walkman , an internet browser, a camera what would you want more in than this ROCK ON WALKMAN~!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this phone, it has great sound, good look,a lot of features but if only they would put more digital zoom in the camera and auto focus it would have turn out perfect but never the less it is still a great cell phone so what there isn't any auto focus
just hold the phone in the best way and take a picture

a real cool slider phone with a lot of features and promising sound quality all just in your hand. i should thank sony for this product. beautiful design that touches all your senses.
so cool.
thank you sony!
